Bah !

[ButtercupKid]

It’s another howling gale out there ! Supposed to be going down later, apparently, so I may still get out later 🙄

[Tartancat Graduate]

Don't get blown away!

Just to annoy you, here in Wiltshire we have blue skies and the faintest hint of a breeze!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Tartancat]

It’ll be your turn soon enough 😄

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Hopefully you can find a half hour window to get the job done.

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

May be by torch light, but if not today I’ll get it in tomorrow ! Early dark up here now, and clocks go back this Sunday 🙄

[Hidden]

Have the wind at your back, it'll help 😉

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Yeah, but how do I get home ? 😄

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Hi ButtercupKid, I hope things are go well for you, don't let the wind stop you from running, by the weekend it's going to be a bit cold, so get outside and get running on whatever week you are doing on C25K, I think you are on week 2 or 3 if I am not mistaken. 🚶🏃🏆😊

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I love your optimism, AlMorr ! Eighth go at week 1, in fact. All my possible routes run through elderly woods, so for safety reasons, if it’s a gale I don’t go.

[Tartancat Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

I had a branch come down when I was running in the woods a few weeks ago. It was close enough to scare me, so I don't blame you for not risking it. Live to run another day!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Tartancat]

My thoughts exactly. Most of the trees here are still carrying a lot of leaves, and that’s when you’re most likely to get stuff coming down. Once they’re bare the wind will filter through. Then I’ll be safe, if frozen !

[cheekychipmunks Graduate]

Oh no, too bad BK! It’s horrible running when it’s really windy, so hopefully it’ll subside for you later on. 🤞🤞

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I don’t mind the wind - it’s the falling trees that worry me ! 😄

[cheekychipmunks Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Yes that might ruin your run somewhat!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Certainly make it more challenging !😄

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Do you live in the North of Scotland,? It has been blowing a gale there for the last few days and the Met Office forecast strong north winds with snow showers at the end of the week.

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Mother’s Little Comfort, aren’t you AlMorr ?!! I’m in NE Scotland and the wind only came up this morning, but it hasn’t dropped at all since. I can cope with rain or snow, but I don’t trust the trees. A dozen or so came down locally in the last gale and much as I want to get on, I won’t risk it.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Yes I am AlMorr BCK, (Al short for Alan and Morr short for Morrison.)

You are very wise in not going out in very windy conditions if there is the risk of falling trees coming down,

[Ibot]

Take the umbrella ☂️ and go Mary Poppins !! A spoon full of sugar 😜

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Ibot]

I don’t know if it counts as a run if you’re flying ?!! I don’t mind going to fly a kite but I’d rather not be one 😆

[Ibot in reply to ButtercupKid]
